concrete ideas

Check out my letter to the editor in the Daily News Journal today:

I voted this morning. Not really excited about it. In fact, I felt a bit depressed as I walked into the Tennessee School for the Blind and not just because I thought about how sad it is that the students there can’t appreciate the pretty snowflake clings that the teachers had affixed to the classroom windows.

I don't know exactly what it is, but when people sit in a circle, stuff happens. Good stuff. Stuff that needs to happen. Stuff that inspires. Stuff that we remember. Stuff that changes our lives.

In the past month, I've sat in a circle three times in three different cities, and each time I had an experience to remember – an experience that was transformative for each person who sat and listened.
